This hotel is awful. I gave it a 2 because the lady at the front desk is nice. I want to escape, but I have to stay at least a night because I have zero options at this point and it's already late. The hotel needs major updating.  …

Spacey room with comfortable bed. Bathroom clean but a little old fashioned. Adequate breakfast. Acceptable value over price ratio.

A small but nice family owned hotel, which is so conveniently located from the city centre of Forscheim. It is maybe a modest one, but very clean and on top of that with very nice and friendly service team.
